SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Agents need a reliable way to interact with the Vikunja task store to create, update, query, and manage tasks, projects, labels, and filters without manual API handling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task CRUD: Create, read, update, complete, and delete tasks through curl commands.
  • Project & Label Resolution: Dynamically resolve project and label IDs by name to avoid hard‑coding.
  • Filters & Queries: Access built‑in pseudo‑projects like Today, Upcoming, Overdue and run custom queries.
  • Comments: Add agent‑prefixed comments to tasks for traceability. Use case: An assistant can automatically add a new “Prepare report” task to the Inbox project with the appropriate identity label after processing an email.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to create a task titled “Prepare report” in the “Inbox” project with the “personal” label.
